Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Vibrometry (Ossicular mobility in mm/s/Pa)

Optical Coherenece Tomography vibrometry measures of ossicular mobility for the umbo and incus in mm/s/Pa for 6 frequencies of 500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000 Hz

Time frame
2 years
2

Standard audiometry--threshold measurement in dBHL

Standard pure tone and bone conduction audiometry--measurement of acoustic thresholds for air and bone conductive stimuli at 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000 , 4000, 6000 and 8000 Hz

Time frame
2 years
3
